Answer by • Oct 17, 2020
Freeze-dried is when all moisture or water content has been removed, these treats will have a crispy, airy texture.
does the treats smell like fish? Probably a dumb question, but thought I'd ask, my family can't stand the smell of fish.
Answer by • May 09, 2019
These cat treats would have a fishy smell to them, however the severity of the smell may differ per pet parent.
Our cats enjoy this as a special treat!
They ask for it by their behavior!

Salmon Freeze-dried treats
A couple of the group loves these. Some had to sniff and check out, but decided they were safe to eat.

Cat Treats
I feel like I am giving our cat something healthy when I add a few of these to her temptations treats once a day. At first she wasn't too sure about them, but now she goes for these first before the temptations that I give her.

Extruded Salmon Puree
The product photo did not quite show that this freeze dried salmon is actually extruded/pelleted ground up salmon. The ingredients only show salmon - but why not freeze-dry chunks of salmon, instead of pureeing it and making pellets? I wonder if there are other ingredients that are not reported. My cat won't touch it.
My cat loves fish. In the past, I have only purchased real identifiable freeze dried salmon chunks. But since covid, it is hard to find in stock anywhere. So I thought I would give this a try. The lower price should have been an indicator.
This review is pointing out that this freeze-dried salmon is actually pelletized puree and not pure freeze-dried chunks of salmon, that you would find in the more expensive name brand products.

Nope not at all
No one liked either kind of these I purchased...neither flavor...way way to hard... Even broken up nope...waste of money, but I donated they to cats that have nothing...since they were new and hopefully they can enjoy them.
I never return anything regardless , I donate all good, treats, ( unless not safe, bones in it, otherwise unfit).

Picky Kitty
I ordered a couple of bags and really thought my guy would like the Salmon. He was not having any of it though. The unopen bags are going to the animal shelter. I know there is a cat out there that will love the salmon.

Not interested.
Neither of my girls seem to care for this flavor. I thought they would love it since they both eat anything that’s seafood. Not the case here.
